CHAPTER 3 - Calibration
The Print and Apply is fully operational through SoftLinx V, with the Print and Apply
interface. Codesoft 9.1 or greater must be installed prior to installing the Print and Apply
interface.
Refer to the SoftLinx V manual for general operation procedures and installation
instructions for interfaces.
A. Connection
The Print and Apply works through an RS232 Serial connection. For computers that do
not have serial ports, a USB to RS232 Serial connection will be required. An Edgeport
USB to Serial converter unit is recommended for all windows operating systems.
The barcode scanner name indicates the barcode scanner interface used by the Print and
Apply. Barcode scanners are included with the Print and Apply, and are named
“MS3204” by default. The Print and Apply interface also requires the MS3204 interface
or other barcode scanner interface to be installed.
Checking the Simulate Applicator box will put the unit in simulate mode. This allows for
software operation of protocols but does not allow the computer to run the unit.
Checking the Simulate Printer box will allow operation of the applicator unit, but the
printer will not print any barcodes via SoftLinx.
